Okay, I just uploaded a ton of pages - and even tried to organize them for you.

It's amazing how few pages I have good feelings about when you consider that I was flipping through the 11 albums that I've worked on (not to mention I have pictures of the pages for the 12x12 album that I gave to my inlaws). And most of those albums are pretty fat! In addition to the 12 12x12 albums (which is quite appropriate...maybe I should stop), I've also done several 7x7 albums. That's a lot of pages! Too bad so few of them meet my approval. :)

This is one of the best ideas I ever stole (from Dwight's cousin, Starla). I did this several times in my wedding album and I took pictures of all of them. I did it one other time with 3 square windows but I'm not so crazy about that page. Anyway, I think the pictures make it fairly obvious. You cut a hole in the middle page and then you can see pictures on the pages behind it. It's pretty cool. People are always very impressed by it.

I'm uploading this one because I think it's a novel idea. I used a bandaid for my title (a real bandaid). Probably not so good for the photos but since these are just prints from digital anyway, I wasn't too worried about it. There's another photo below so that you can see the bandaid better.

Okay, I do like this one. I did it when I was scrapping with my Brooke down in Richmond. Anyway, if you click on it to see it in a larger format, you'll see that the ants walk through the letters. I think it's a cute idea. (Totally stolen, of course.) Of course I think I could have done a much better job but whatever. I'm never satisfied. :)

Okay, this I think is cool. It's 5 pictures that I took with my SLR camera in an attempt at a panorama. And then I just put them next to each other on the page. I thought it turned out kinda cool. I think it would have looked better if the pictures were more haphazard but of course I wasn't thinking about that when I took the pictures.

Okay, here's a couple of pages with things I've scanned for my scrapbook. I like the way it looks. I especially like the ski passes and the favors from my bridal shower. Anyway, I thought it was an idea worth sharing.

This one gets uploaded for the same reason as the one below. I had Mom and Dad both journal the page on the left for me. So Dad filled up half the page with his memories and then Mom filled up the other half.

I'm including this not becaus I necessarily like the layout but I think it's a great idea - which I totally stole from somewhere else (Christy Robinson, I believe.). Basically you just take all the pictures that you get over the holidays and then you make a page(s) out of them.

Here's another sideways page. I should have gotten more of the page on the right in the picture because that's kind of a funny one. I had my brother Jonny do a page and he lined up three pictures all nice and neatly on the left side of the page and then had a little text in the top right corner. It's pricelesss!
